only a TV series would do something like The Rookie justice. I think maybe a movie would be to short to explore all the depth put in to the races, and too short to show a decent amount of american football action.

You never know, HBO and a few British shows still show Band of Brothers which is violent (tho given at least a tenth of the gore potential that the rookie has :P)

does put a lot of money into there series and a very small amount into there movies.but a rookie movie should be done somewhere like lucasarts first then a series should follow on sci fi or hbo once it gets a broader fanbase and they know what kind of effects they cannot skimp on later.

is that they’ve developed a disturbing habit of canceling good stuff early. Fox had this problem a few years ago too–shows got canceled before they were given time to build a following. As a result, HBO is suffering a market-share problem. They need to knock it off.

So, I’m the only one old enough to see the subject line of ‘The Rookie TV show’ and think … "Wasn’t that a cop show back in the 1970’s? Didn’t Kate Jackson have a role as one of the rookie cop’s wives?Tastes Like Chicken

SFC could work, but they sure are hit-miss when it comes to the shows they produce. Battlestar Galactica is top notch, but most of the made for TV movies they’ve done are pretty low-budget. If they’d sign up to do it right, I think SFC would be one of the best channels for the project. Or if we want the details and graphic nature of the story preserved–HBO miniseries! Yeah.

Good chance Spike TV would be a candidate channel, considering the amount of blood that I’ve seen inside the octagon. Granted, the blood in the octagon is red, and therefore not as interesting as some other colors…

Cartoon Network, specifically Adult Swim, should definitely adopt the Rookie, it could be drawn in that nice 70/80s (?) style like Metalocalypse, Korgoth of Barbaria, Thundercats, He-Man, etc… That would be rocking. To the max.

Rookie is waaay more set up for standard Human-form in alien-filled world. The interaction of the species, though, why a single species gets to judge the legality of a player’s status, that may take some ‘splainin.

SciFi already had their turn… they turned down the work because they “don’t want to have to explain their monsters”. They seem to be more content with monsters you don’t have to explain like… Anaconda… or Mosquito Man…

Hello – SCIFI Channel – how bout you pull Stargate Atlantis and put on something a lot more fun – with LOTS And LOTS of Violence?

Think it works – how about we start a grass roots campaign to get Sci-Fi to do it—- opps:

“I have a great idea for a show. How do I submit ideas?
SCI FI does not accept unsolicited material. We only accept submissions/pitches from distributors, producers, agents, talent with representation, etc. This is to protect both the Channel and the individual with the idea.”
